Wakefield Cost of Living Support Guide
Your child’s well being and happiness is of the utmost importance to us at Horbury Primary Academy. We aim to promote the health and happiness of all the children and families within our school community. We are a point of contact for families, offering confidential support and advice during challenging times, such as, family separation, bereavement, divorce, health worries and so on.
We have a wide range of resources and outside agency contacts who we work very closely with. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment to see Mrs Sleight or a member of the Designated Safeguarding Team if you would like a confidential chat.
Health Directory
We have devised a list of contacts and phone numbers of organisations and agencies who are there to help you and your family.
Phone numbers in bold are free of charge to call
